This is the uppermost of three scenic waterfalls found off-trail along Turkeypen Branch, a remote tributary of the Upper Chattahoochee River. About 22 feet high, Upper Turkeypen Branch Falls makes a picturesque double drop in a lush rhododendron-filled setting. Accessing this waterfall entails a long, difficult bushwhack from Martin Branch Road (FR 178).
